Question / Help HTTP or RTSP Streaming

[neverforget98]

Hi there,

I am new to the OBS land, and it is a beautiful piece of software. I am trying to integrate an IP Camera stream into my NetCam Studio. It has no direct stream URL, so I am stuck using their site to view the camera, but I have 5 other cameras I need to view at the same time. My solution: Stream a virtual PC to a RTSP or HTTP URL, so I can view the camera using that stream URL.

However, I cannot get this figured out. The stream HAS to be HTTP or RTSP so I can integrate it with the system. I figured out the whole RMTP thing and what not, but that is not the stream type I need.

I am hoping someone has a solution on hand or doesn't mind helping me.

Thank you!

Key feature of NetCam Studio according to their site:

• Stream to HTML 5 <video> tag and VLC

If you can stream to VLC with it, it can be used directly in OBS through the Media or VLC source.
In theory you could maybe even open the website you mentioned in the Browser Source.

Jack0r, thanks for your response. I think you may have misunderstood. The Streaming that Netcam Studio talks about is viewing the cameras that are linked in the server. I have a requirement of getting the camera into the server. Sadly there is no way to get this camera directly integrated, I have to use some kind of desktop streamer, streamed to HTTP or RTSP, so I can have it integrated.

Thank you!

You're going to need to describe what you want to do more thoroughly.

OBS doesn't do HTTP (do you mean HLS?) or RTSP. Just RTMP. If the IP cameras are sending to your player/viewer via HTTP or RTSP, that can't be "read" by OBS, you'd have to do a capture of the player somehow. If you want to have OBS output HTTP or RTSP, it can't do that either. Its very possible OBS is the wrong tool for the job you have.
